Hey guys, has anyone ever had to replace their window wash knobs? The actual valve assembly that controls the freshwater to the wiper? Mine cracked compliments of the wonderful 7 degree days we had in GA and my RV antifreeze mix just wasnt strong enough to cover that sort of temperature. I...

So, aside from the sun not rising in the east in the next few weeks, Im finally ready to put some power back on my boat. Havent done near what I thought I would have accomplished in regards to "projects" at this point, but I guess thats just how it goes. I did replace scuppers, re-did the...

Hey Guys, I posted this on THT too, but I figured there are ALOT less agenda driven people here than THT. I start thinking about all the different boats Ive owned in the past, and the one thing that keeps coming back to me is how impressive the Grady has been over all others in respect to...

My 265 that is!!! Sold my engines and ready to start the long drawn out process of putting new power on her. Im VERY much interested in the Suzuki 175's, Ive read alot about similar repowers, talked with a few guys that did it to similar sized Gradys, not exact, but similar. And im just...

Ive been chasing a high RPM hesitation gremlin on my port engine for over a year now, between work schedule and trouble shooting the sometimes sparadic problem its been a LONG time coming. I did the typical recommendations, VST, LP pumps, motor mounted filter, did a HP gauge test at all RPMs...

Just thought Id share the good news from the boat, been having some gremlins on the port 250OX66, wouldnt reach WOT, infact anything above 4000 started to cause it to lag and hesitate, it was using literally twice the fuel as the stbd (3800 RPMs synched up, I was burning 30GPH+ (port motor using...

Well I finally did it, after 6 months of looking at electronics online, pricing out installs via professional installers, getting shipped out with work leaving the boat behind.....I FINALLY got the time and oppurtunity to change out my dash and upgrade electronics. I had intially decided on a...

My last boat had the newer Command Link gauges and I changed the input to GPS speed vs motor pick up for better trip odometer calculations and accurate fuel economy readings. Does anyone know if you can input GPS speed via NEMA to the older Yamaha Digital Guages? (2001 OX250's)? Mine typically...

Hello All, still enjoying the trials and tribulations of learning the new boat, had a bad ignition coil not firing a cylinder last time, problem solved and power is back....but......I seem to be burning ALOT of gas, port motor (same as one with bad coil) uses about 30% more fuel as per flow...

Thought I would run this by some of the experts here (who I know have dealt similar situation) I recently bought new VST filters from Andy @ SIM but Im wondering if I should install now or wait till Ive ran E10 fuel through both tanks exclusively? Now that Ive switched over to E10, I dont plan...

Does anyone know the O.D. size for the hard top frame to buy the correct size Lee's Clamp On rod holder? My boat is 500miles away and Im trying to get some gear mailed to the house vs at the boat. I forgot to measure the pipe frame last week when I was on the boat. Thanks in advance!!

I got back to the boat today after being gone for a month, Ive had it now since Jan, still havent had a chance to fish it, between work and maintenance, its killing me!! I really want to upgrade the electronics, but with so many other projetcs, so many other ideas and components and no time to...

Im sure this topic has been beat to death on this and other forums, but I thought Grady owners would be the best place to get first hand knowledge. I have a 2001 265 with OX66 250s, previous owner dry stored and only used regular gas at his marina, so no Ethanol yet into the system. I trailer...

Im trying to buy some parts on the fly and have a very short window of time to get it all done before I ship out for a few months. Does anyone know what shaft length is on the windshield wiper motor AFI Brand, on a 265 Express?? Thanks

HOLY COW!!!! after a really bad first long run on the 265, I was kinda worried about handling and lots of variables. Turns out it wasnt the boats fault, it was the systems associated with it!! Tabs were not working correctly, infact only one tab was working and only in one direction + the...

Still playing with this new to me boat and Im already thinking about the repower option? I dont have 40grand to spend on the new Digital 250s, look nice, but too costly, I love the performance report of the F225s but dont like the idea of having to raise the scuppers and really patch the boat...

Hey Guys, Slowly starting to get to know my newly acquired 2001 265, between weather & work just haven't had the time I thought I would have right now!!! Anyway, learned it DEFINITELY has some quirky handling characteristics, still working on that one, quick question though.....what is THIS...

Hey guys, does anyone know off hand what model Jabsco (manual) pump is used to the toilet? Im having some repairs finished on my recently bought boat (compliments of my local GW dealer destroying my lower unit trying to get the water pump off).....but thats a WHOLE other story. Anyway, I...

Hello everyone, I getting really excited about next week, my "new to me" 265 is on it's way from Alabama and I can't wait to get a hold of her and start putting together to my liking ( I do love to fish, but I have to admit the maintenance and up keep are also half the fun IMO). One of the only...

Today I went and looked at my first 265, a 2001 model with Z200's and alot of nice options. The boat was in good shape for the age, some worn out cushions, few spider cracks in the corners, roughed up edges on the hard top, rusty sink drains, mildew in some of the tight compartments; but overall...
